Chapter 648 The Meaning of Existence
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Lin Zichen nodded secretly, as long as Xiao Feng was sure that it was the Stygian Bead Grass, that would be right.
In fact, it was the same when Panjun came, Lin Zichen didn't know much about the Stygian Bead Grass, if Xiaofeng hadn't recognized the vine around Cui Hongwei's neck at the beginning, he wouldn't have found the clue so smoothly.
However, Lin Zichen did not move, but walked into the meditation room with the abbot Xuan'an.
Xuan'an's meditation room and courtyard are simply one day and one place, and the meditation rooms that Lin Zichen understands are all simply arranged, and the meditation place is not allowed to be decorated too much, but this meditation room is different.
The surrounding gold-lacquered walls, vermilion wooden doors, and sitting meditation couches are also all cochin sandalwood, plus meticulous carving, it must be worth a lot.
The traditional Zen characters on the walls are also framed with precious glass frames, and Lin Zichen can see that the Zen characters are written in gold dust, and the whole room is luxurious.
Maybe this is also the reason why Xuan'an is reluctant to let ordinary donors enter the meditation room, but Lin Zichen doesn't understand, in this case, why can you come in with a donation of 50,000 yuan, which is a bit strange.
"Hehe, Master Lin, you have a relationship with Buddhism, I don't know what you can't understand now?"
Lin Zichen smiled, martial arts are all-encompassing, including Buddhism, even if Lin Zichen is not proficient in Buddhism, after obtaining the inheritance of Dao Xuan Tianzun, he will know more than ordinary mortals, and he chatted with the abbot Xuan'an.
During the conversation, Lin Zichen found that Xuan'an was not unlearned, he had unique insights into Buddhism, and it was very profound, but perhaps because he had been corrupted by money for too long, his concept was somewhat mixed with a hint of cheesiness.
However, Xuan An was very surprised by Lin Zichen, he didn't expect that the benefactor who came to give alms this time had such a profound concept of Buddhism, and even he couldn't suppress his admiration.
"Amitabha, Lord Lin is really a master of Buddhism, although he is not a monk, but he is dedicated to the Buddha, so that the old man admires it." Xuan'an Road.
Lin Zichen smiled: "Master Xuan'an is serious, I just have a superficial opinion, but ...... But I don't know anything, and I hope that the master will teach me. ”
"Donor, please speak."
Lin Zichen got up and paced with his hands in his hands: "I think the master's Zen room is also considered a top luxury, it is said that your temple is economically rich, and there should be a lot of charity, but why is the temple so deserted?" ”
Hearing this, the abbot Xuan'an sighed: "Hey, don't hide it from the donor, the incense in my temple has not been very vigorous, but a few years ago there were a few donors, and it took a million to end up in the rich Zen room of Lao Gao, but who ......knows."
"Huh? It should be a good thing to have such a generous person to give alms, so why should the master sigh? Lin Zichen asked.
"Hey, those donors asked our temple to do things for them, after all, we are people in Buddhism, and the old man didn't want to agree, but the monks of this temple also need to live, so he finally agreed."
Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly: "What did they ask you to do?" ”
Hearing this, Abbot Xuan'an was stunned: "This ...... It is the secret of the temple, in short, after that, those people have never given alms, and we are also bound, we are not allowed to open the temple door all day long, only some familiar donors will knock on the door to worship the Buddha and give alms, many tourists see the temple door closed, and they also go back. ”
Lin Zichen thought secretly, it seems that this Yunyin Temple is not simple, and now it has been controlled, although the purpose is unknown, but Lin Zichen deduced that it may be related to those beast spirits!
But this has nothing to do with Lin Zichen, and he doesn't bother to worry about it, he said: "Hehe, it seems that the current situation in the temple is still a little tight." ”
Abbot Xuan'an nodded: "Yes, otherwise the old man would not have opened his mouth to give alms, guilty of sin...... Amitabha. ”
"Abbot, I see that there are a lot of exotic flowers and plants in your courtyard, if I am willing to spend money to buy some, would it be good?" Lin Zichen said.
Hearing this, Abbot Xuan'an's eyes rolled: "Oh? Hehe, donor, the flowers and plants in my yard are all precious varieties, not cheap. ”
Lin Zichen smiled secretly, as soon as he mentioned money, this old guy was tempted, and there was really no one in this temple.
But this is good, as long as you are greedy for money, it means that you can solve it with money.
"Hehe, the price is good, I'll take a look first."
"The donor is really happy, please!"
Walking into the courtyard, Lin Zichen looked at the vines of the Stygian Bead Grass at a glance, but he was not in a hurry to say it, he was also afraid of arousing Xuan'an's vigilance.
"Master Abbot, what is this strain? It's so beautiful. Lin Zichen said.
Abbot Xuan'an thought for a while: "Hehe, this is called Huoyun Drifting Snow, the donor is really good eyesight, this is a variety that Lao Wei once spent 100,000 yuan to transplant." ”
Hearing this, Lin Zichen smiled secretly, he was really greedy, this plant was clearly a snow-topped crane, with a market price of seven or eight hundred yuan, and he dared to say 100,000 yuan when he opened his mouth......
But it doesn't matter, if you can buy it with the Stygian Bead Grass, it's acceptable to spend a little more.
"Well, what about this one?"
"This plant is called the Blue Fairy, and the old man spent 150,000 yuan when he collected it, if the donor likes it, I will transfer it to you without making a penny!"
Don't make a penny? Lin Zichen shook his head secretly, Xuan'an, Xuan'an, you were stunned to say that a Cuishui Orchid worth about 1,000 yuan was 150,000, it's really okay......
Obviously, in Xuan'an's opinion, Lin Zichen is not an expert in flowers and plants, so isn't that a price for him?
And even if the other party knows the real price after buying, he is not afraid!
Wouldn't it be nice to have a temple door closed then? Even if the other party is endless, I believe that the force behind it will help him get ahead.
He had no other way, after all, the monastery was too poor now, and the money given by the forces behind him was simply not enough for these dozen monks to live.
Lin Zichen nodded, and immediately pointed to the vine in the corner: "Huh? Master, what kind of plant is that, hehe, it's so special! ”
Xuan An nodded and smiled: "Hehe, that's a purple vine, and it's also a treasure in our temple, it grows slowly, but the vine branches are extremely tough, and they can be used to make some Buddha rings to wear, which is more effective than amulets." ”
"Oh...... I see, master, what is the price of this purple vine? ”
Xuan An was stunned when he heard this, his eyes obviously showed a nervous look, his expression was serious, and he said: "This purple vine is impossible to sell, the donor should take a look at the others." ”
"Oh? Not for sale? Huh, why is that? Lin Zichen said.
"The old man has already said that this purple vine is the treasure of my temple, and I hope that the donor will not be loved by many people." Xuan'an Road.
Lin Zichen shook his head and smiled, approached the purple vine, and watched Lin Zichen pass, Xuan An hurriedly followed a few steps.
"Donor, purple vine is a feature of my temple, many donors are willing to ask for one to make a Buddha ring after coming here to give alms, if the donor likes it, the old man can also order someone to make a Buddha ring gift." Xuan An added.
Lin Zichen smiled and nodded: "It's okay, but it's ...... I'm really curious, what kind of plant is this purple vine, I have never seen such a branch, I wonder what is in it? Saying that, Lin Zichen looked at Xuan'an, who was panicked in his heart, this purple vine was planted here by the forces behind it, they had said that it was of great significance, at most some vine branches could be intercepted, but they could not be transplanted or die, so Xuan'an had been carefully taken care of in recent years.
"Inside? Hehe, this is a vine plant, and there is nothing more than these vines. Xuan An smiled, but there was a hint of nervousness in his smile.
"Oh? Master Xuan'an, make a price, I plan to ask for this purple vine, as long as you can open it, I am willing to bid! ”
Hearing this, Xuan An was slightly stunned, and had to say that he didn't dare to sell the purple vines, after all, the forces behind him had explained to him, but Lin Zichen's words tickled his heart, and it could be seen that the financial resources of this benefactor were definitely not simple.
"This ...... Why did the donor fall in love with this purple vine? Hehe, I'm afraid the price is ...... It's so high that you can't afford it. ”
"Really? Let's just say that if the price really scares me, I certainly won't ask for it. Lin Zichen said with a smile.
Xuan An thought for a while: "Hehe, this purple vine was worth millions when it was transplanted, and now it has grown like this, and it is worth more than 10 million!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Zichen couldn't help but smile, what kind of sky-high price would he say when Xuan'an, if it was an ordinary plant, of course Lin Zichen would not spend money in vain, but the Stygian Bead Grass was worth it.
"Master, is it expensive?"
"Hehe, it's really expensive, but I can still afford it, don't worry, Xiaofeng, I'll help you get the Stygian Bead Grass."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng's heart warmed, and she smiled delicately: "Master, you are so good......"
Lin Zichen stepped forward and touched the tip of the purple vine, and nodded: "Ten million? I want it! ”
"What?" Xuan An really didn't expect this benefactor to be so rich, and when he heard it, he didn't frown, and he was overjoyed for a while.
But soon, he became nervous again, but after all, this was explained by the forces behind him, if he sold it...... I'm afraid I can't explain it.
After struggling, he still made a decision that he couldn't sell it!
"Donor, the old man is just joking, this purple vine really can't be sold!"
"Really? Does the master know that monks don't speak? If that's the case, then I really doubt your Buddha mind. ”
"This ......" Abbot Xuan'an was embarrassed for a while, and said in his heart that of course the old man wanted to sell it, if he got 10 million, the monks in my temple would have enough expenses in this life, but ...... I don't dare.
In the end, Xuan An still shook his head: "Let the donor think what he thinks, if the donor is dedicated to seeking Buddha, he can live in my temple today, these strange flowers and plants can be traded, but this purple vine ...... I still hope that the donor will give up. ”
Lin Zichen frowned slightly, and sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that although Xuan An may not know the secret of the Stygian Bead Grass, at least he is really unwilling to sell it.
"Master, what should I do, this bald donkey is not for sale, otherwise we will rob it!"
Lin Zichen shook his head secretly: "Xiaofeng, don't talk nonsense, although I don't believe in Buddhism, it's not good to fight in this Buddha Pure Land, we still have to find other ways." ”
"Hey, what can I do then, the Stygian Bead Grass is right in front of me, but I can't get it."
"Hehe, not necessarily, I'll ask Zikong." Lin Zichen said with a smile.
"That Zikong monk?"
"Yes, compared to it, he is more greedy for money than Abbot Xuan'an, after all, everyone has his meaning, the meaning of Zikong...... Right here. ”
